huds601 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 It's hard to hear what he's singing, but wouldn't it make more sense if it was a "bench in a park" rather than a "bridge in a park"? Check page 3 ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel_94 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Written in graffiti on a bridge in a park 'Do you ever get the feeling that you're missing the mark?' It's so cold, it's so cold It's so cold, it's so cold Written up in marker on a factory sign 'I struggle with the feeling that my life isn't mine' It's so cold, it's so cold It's so cold, it's so cold See the arrow that they shot, trying to tear us apart Fire from my belly and the beat from my heart Still I won't let go Still I won't let go You Ooohooh Oh you, use your heart as a weapon And it hurts like heaven Streets and bars and a pavement of saints And at the streets are rising and you'd rather sing 'Don't let them take control No, we won't let them take control' Found on: http://www.directlyrics.com/coldplay-hurts-like-heaven-lyrics.html Not entirely right but very close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiame Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Just so everyone knows, the lyrics are wrong in one particular section. "I'm coming out to get us... I'm coming out when they don't know the facts" Is really "how come they're out to get us. how come they're out when they don't know the facts."

huds601 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Just so everyone knows, the lyrics are wrong in one particular section. "I'm coming out to get us... I'm coming out when they don't know the facts" Is really "how come they're out to get us. how come they're out when they don't know the facts." This was confirmed on previous page and agreed to. Will put up a new revised final draft of lyrics later (on iPad atm!) The problem with live lyrics is they're easily changed or slightly altered during each performance so it makes it hard to get a definitive list together, but I think we're just about there on this one!

How come it 'round when they don't know the facts So on a concrete canvas under cover of dark Concrete canvas I go making my mark Armed with the spray can soul I'll be armed with the spray can soul You Ooohooh Oh, you Ooohooh Yes, you use your heart as a weapon And it hurts like heaven Woho-ooh Woho-oooh It's true When you Use your heart as a weapon It hurts like heaven Thats like perfect now, the only line im not sure is "i'll be rather insane" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafaelchampion Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Guys, please, It's not "Every Surface ARE names", it is "Every Surface AND names". No surface can be a name. It's nonsense. I'm not sure of: "Under Cover Of Dark"... Could be COVER, could be COLOR, put COLOR in a British speaker software and you'll see that it's how Chris speaks. "How come it 'round to get us? How come it 'round when they don't know the facts" Could be IT or THEY. Every festival I hear a different thing. "'Cause you do" I think it's "Yes, you do" The rest is, I guess, perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdplayingfromKansas Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 ^ It could be 'every surface are names' because the whole lyrical line reads as 'On every street, every car, every surface are names' So 'On every street, every car, every surface are names' if you take out the additional adjectives and nouns But Chris changes the lyrics so much that it's bound to change for every performance :shrug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bond007 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 (WHAT ABOUT THIS?? O_o) Written in graffiti on a bridge in a park 'Do you ever get the feeling that you're missing the mark?'

Snookerman Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I thought we agreed that it was How come they're out to get us? How come they're out when they don't know the facts? This is what I hear and it's the only one that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor!42! Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 (WHAT ABOUT THIS?? O_o) i think you just got that from a lyrics website. it's definitely not right. Guys, please, It's not "Every Surface ARE names", it is "Every Surface AND names". No surface can be a name. It's nonsense. I'm not sure of: "Under Cover Of Dark"... Could be COVER, could be COLOR, put COLOR in a British speaker software and you'll see that it's how Chris speaks. you have to look at the line as a whole. the line "On every street and every car and every surface and names" just doesn't make sense. the idea of names on streets, cars and surfaces does :) Again, being "under colour of dark" makes no sense. Saying "Under cover of dark" does because he's talking about grafitti and since it's illegal, it is usually done at night in dark places hence the reference of being under a cover of darkness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafaelchampion Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Ok, all of you are saying I'm wrong, but what you have to see is that the line do not end in the "NAMES". It is "On every street, every car, every surface AND names, AND at the street's arise you'll be writing the saying...". The focus of the verse is not ON WHAT you are writing but WHAT you are writing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdplayingfromKansas Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 ^ :thinking: I still don't get what you mean with the 'AND names' bit but in several of the recordings I think Chris sings 'and we're writing the same' As in: There ARE names on every surface --> Chris and co. are writing the names also But, Chris is bound to change the lyrics, so this will probably change ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The focus of the verse is not ON WHAT you are writing but WHAT you are writing what is on these streets, cars, surfaces, and names, then? :P the focus may not be ON WHAT, but the first line the way you've written it is an incomplete thought...
